ON THE POLITICAL INTERESTS OF FRANCE AND OF THE NETHERLANDS. England, ih uniting with France as it seems to intend to do, would leave the union; imperfect if it did no.t admit the House of Orange as a third party and this house would ac in oppositi Dn to its own interest if i did not adhere to this alliance, espe cially since Belgium is united to Holf land : -for we must not look at France, such as she now is. but such as she has Joften shown herself after the tempest, haughty, terrible, and1 recrirainating.-4 May wt not fearl with' some reaibn, that the southern, frontiers o f the Netherlands yould be always in danger of being threat ened, as long as this kingdom shall not make a common, cause , with France aril England ? (on the hy pothecs that these: two powers should unite cordially & sincerely.) If we nay lever believe in a miracl. so extraordinary as that of this trip pie alanc, it would awe Prussia which always- has its j eyes .fixed bni Westpialii and the northern provin-j ces ot Holland ; it would add the strenih of Hanover Netherlands, whose to that of the too extensive frontiers would be secured on all - points 1 his union might, in the sequelibe increased in the souths byi by," and N aples, and on aL' i-t- I o LJ T" .

Holland for merly proved, that a shiali country, with but a few inhabitaats,: may, by its! situation, its trade. & Its policy, balance the fortune of a great state and populous nation ; whetlier we conipare therh for strength or for riches, there is nothing which more powerfully tends tb establish this e quality than a marine & commerce. The progress of commerce, in alt counties, immediately follows the progress of tne marine, and the ma rine, lending. wings to commerce, in creases its prosperity and promotes its extension. 'Y ' ; The Netherlands unite at this mo .w . i v .M... W bill U A..

In 1699, Holland and Zealand contain ed a million acres! of land, & France then contained six millions, yet the riches and strength of Holland were estimated at one third of those of France, and the rents? of "the lands in proportion to those of ! France,! as nihe to one. j ' ! The burden of all the Vessels be ing to Europe in the same year amounted to 2,000,000 of tons the English had 500,000, the Dutch 900,000, the French 100,000, & the rest was divided among the other na tions The -sunis levied iri all the United Provinces amounted to half! those levied in France. Of 300,00(5, 000 of souls, at which the population of the -glpoe was at that time estima ted, the Dutch traded with 100,000, 000. Look at the Austrian monar- rhv. it .rhse fl trrpnt tfrritnrv- n fertile soil, and abundant mines '; and yet it is in the greatest embarrass ment in respect to its finarices.l and this embarrassment has existed a bove 25 years. It has created paper currency ot various descriptions, which has but increased its distress ; it has adopted a great many plans' of finance, none of which have had any success; and notwithstanding its good faith and its good will, it has not yet been able either to repay its loans,' or even to discharge, the accu mulated interest of them. Whence" comes this incurable malady, not withstanding all the endeavors cf empires Mo remove it ? It corner from the obstinacy, with which the great powers persist in, maintdjning in time of peace aAnilitary force dis proportioried to ihe revenues and the population, It is this false , system which throws Prussia into financial embarrassments, from which it jtries Lto extricate itself at4, the expense of We see by th' that it is not'the extent of a kingdom which consti tutes its strength and riches, & that the Netherlands,, ;under a good ad ministration in ay, in the sequel, go on the same line as the powers Which now seek to draw .into their, -iDrbit what they call the states of tht ond order.
